Bitget has revised the total value of assets compromised in Thursday's security incident to approximately $388 million, an increase of $35 million over its initial assessment.
The exchange published a Friday update confirming that withdrawals remain suspended and that it had opened a bounty programme aimed at encouraging parties to freeze or return the stolen funds. On-chain analysis showed that $387.5 million moved to addresses under the attacker's control — a figure $35 million higher than the Thursday estimate.
Bitget attributed the adjustment to a fuller review of outflows during the breach. The revised total now accounts for assets on Zcash and TRON that were omitted from the first calculation. The exchange stressed that the increase does not represent additional unauthorised transfers and that the incident has been contained, with no further outflows possible.
The compromise spanned addresses across EVM-compatible networks, the XRP Ledger, Zcash and TRON. Stolen tokens included:
- XRP
- ETH
- USDt
- ZEC
- USDC
- USDT0
- XAUt
- BNB
- AVAX
- TRX
The Friday statement made no reference to remarks by CEO Gracy Chen on Thursday, in which she suggested a North Korean hacking group might be responsible for the attack.
Despite the upward revision, the Bitget breach ranks among the most significant in the sector by value. By comparison, hackers extracted roughly $1.5 billion in Ether from Bybit during February 2025.
